PROJECT 1 In taking pictures for the 14 elements and principles of art, I found myself looking at objects and scenes far more subjectively. Suddenly, taking a picture was not as simple as pressing a button. I needed to make sure each image I took was accompanied by a feeling. I entirely believe that aesthetic pleasures create physical pleasures within us. I did not understand why but I do now. From my artistic point of view, I believe we feel these pleasure when any number of the elements and principles have been successfully accounted for.
It is commonly mentioned that the human eye is attracted to perfect ratios. There is no doubt in my mind that these ratios go beyond physical scale and also include each of the 14 elements and principles. I think this is why we enjoy good art when we see it. Our mind and our senses have picked up on this perfect ratio - whatever it may be - and we feel pleasure, enamored by its' beauty.
